infinity t-shirt scarf

Last Friday night I sat down to make the bachelorette boas (cause I'm cool like that on a Friday night) before the next nights activities. Now, before I dig in to any project I like to make sure I have a bottle of wine and a snuggie I'm situated so I don't have to get up in the middle of my creation process. Yes, it's a process. Well, I realized that I was cold. I was already in my fancy Friday night ensemble (workout pants/tank/sweater--no really, livin it up!) so I didn't really have another layer to add.....I decided to throw on a scarf. You know, like 1 out of the 900 that I have hanging behind the closet door. Apparently those were not cool enough for me.....so what did I do? I think you know where this is headed--I MADE a scarf. Seriously. Total impulse crafter.

*side note! I live in Michigan, where it was 50 degrees last Friday--JUNE 10th--and I would have been happy in a snowsuit.

So, how does one just whip up a scarf in under 20 minutes? You know, when she has a night of work ahead of her? Well, she grabs an old sweater, a pair of ginghers and gets to it.

Now, I forgot to take pictures of the creation process on this gray guy, so I made another one tonight to gift to my food stylist friend Laura ( for reals, check out her work!) who is fantastically fashionable, in a rich hippie sort of way, and snapped away.

Enough of my ramblings--on with the goods!

and PS, this shirt is actually blue, not periwinkle. Gross. I do not have a $500 real camera.ingredient list
- sweater or t-shirt--I'd say no bigger than a large or your circle will get OOC
- scissors

Step One: Lay shirt flat and cut long strips across, measuring 1" a part, around 14-16 strips is ideal . *tip, make little slits every 1" then cut into long strips. You'll also need to cut one 4" inch long strip (still 1"H) for every long strip you get.

Step Two: cross individual strips a total of 2 times so your circle has four rings total.

they look like donuts--my FAV!

Step Three: Remember the part where I totally mumbled something about extra 4" strips back in step one? Yeah, you're gonna need those now....use one 4" strip to connect 2 of your circles, double knot. Keep doing this until all the circles have been joined together, making an infinity loop.

This is really really cute. I love scarves and love it even more that it is a no sew. With baby #2 literally coming Thursday I am looking for some easy no sew things to make to keep myself sane over the next few weeks.

I am just reminding everyone about tonights link party that runs Friday evening through Mondays!I also have an ongoing give away link party now too.Hope to see you soon.http://bacontimewiththehungryhypo.blogspot.com/come strut your stuff
